DESCRIPTION

Azelaic acid is a 3-in-1 clinically proven active that helps reduce blemishes, pigmentation and redness. This formula uses a new-generation water-soluble form called Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate (PAD) that has similar properties to Azelaic acid but enables a super-light, oil-free texture. The two strong point of PAD is to even the skin tone and to control excessive oiliness.

Ingredients & Research

key ingredients:

Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate –A new generation azelaic acid derivative designed to be water-soluble and thus enable light formulas. It has a similar effect to the 3-in-1 clinical active azelaic acid that helps to reduce blemishes, pigmentation, and redness. The two strong point of PAD is to even the skin tone and to control excessive oiliness. aPAD contains 20% Azeclair, the trade name of the PAD solution we are using in the product. This means 6% of pure Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate. (Note: the formula has not changed, but we have corrected the communication mistake we made with aPAD. We really apalogize, and have written in detail about what happened here. )
